The 4.2 release candidate of VirtualBox:

https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=51405

includes a new environment variable (VBOX_CROGL_FORCE_SUPPORTED), which, 
when set to 1, will disable the use of the offending VBoxTestOGL 
application.  I checked in a patch to vglrun that causes it to always 
set that environment variable for any programs or scripts that it 
launches.  Thus, the documented procedure for launching VirtualBox 
should work again, at least on Linux.

The "alternate procedure" (using CR_SYSTEM_GL_PATH) does not currently 
work, but the VBox developers are looking to re-enable this in a later 
release of VBox, since it is generally a cleaner and safer method of 
using VGL with VBox (doesn't require making VGL setuid root.)
